Bethel officials haven't decided yet what to do with the old police station and land on Plumtrees Road.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says his thought is that the building will be torn down and the land return to its natural state.  One of the problems with the old station is that it sits in the middle of a flood plain. 

Knickerbocker says part of the property could be used for parking for the nearby athletic fields. 

At some point in the near future, Knickerbocker says they could go to residents for an allocation to outfit the firing range with an air handling system that collects lead dust and filters it out, tracks that run the targets, computers to run the training scenarios.  The plan is to look at how much contingency funding is left over and see how much more will have to be added. 

He is looking into having other nearby towns use the firing range to help save them money and offset some costs.  Knickerbocker called it a good regional sharing opportunity.  Knickerbocker says that could take another couple of months.
